Sensory representations and pupil-indexed listening effort provide complementary contributions to multi-talker speech intelligibility.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Multi-talker speech intelligibility requires successful separation of the target speech from background speech. Successful speech segregation relies on bottom-up neural coding fidelity of sensory information and top-down effortful listening. Here, we studied the interaction between temporal processing measured using Envelope Following Responses (EFRs) to amplitude modulated tones, and pupil-indexed listening effort, as it related to performance on the Quick Speech-in-Noise (QuickSIN) test in normal-hearing adults. Listening effort increased at the more difficult signal-to-noise ratios, but speech intelligibility only decreased at the hardest signal-to-noise ratio. Pupil-indexed listening effort and EFRs did not independently relate to QuickSIN performance. However, the combined effects of both EFRs and listening effort explained significant variance in QuickSIN performance. Our results suggest a synergistic interaction between sensory coding and listening effort as it relates to multi-talker speech intelligibility. These findings can inform the development of next-generation multi-dimensional approaches for testing speech intelligibility deficits in listeners with normal-hearing.
